With about 7 mins left it was 72-61 Oregon. Olu fouled out, playing hard D. Woods is a block machine. Ducks, as a team, blocking shots left and right. Shooting horribly. Brown missed a ton of shots, badly missed, and committed turnovers like a freshman would. Apparently on his first two 3 point attempts, he hit the backboard and air balled. Neither hit the rim.

Considering how many new players there are and it being the first exhibition game, then how they're playing is about what I expected. There will be some real growing pains for this team early on but I think they'll put it together to win at least 18 games.

i'd be surprised with 18. this kind of score scares me. i've seen grand canyon play twice, and they lost by 30+ both times. maybe i'm just used to utah state playing exhibitions and blowing teams out. utah state is a lot better of a program than oregon, so it isn't fair to hold this team to that, and even 'cuse and 'zona lose some exhibitions so a win can't be too bad of a sign.

Don't let it.

i still think 17 wins which i predicted a few days ago

[oregontrack]

That would be quite upsetting insomuch 17 wins means we'd be losing some OOC games to some pretty horrible teams, or we'd be well under .500 in Pac-12 play. Keep the faith, when this team comes together we'll go on a run.

In the register rag this morning Altman didn't sound so happy.
And unlike other coaches he took the blame for not having them
ready. But he's not on the court throwing up bad shots and not
blocking out on rebounds or not defending. That being said i think
this team will come around and then look out. The talent is there.
